The Sunday Dog.....FETCH!!!!!!
Monty just loves carrying sticks around with him.... this one is small in comparison with some he finds. A whack on the ankles with a hefty pole, unfortunately, is now a common occurrence.
Our Kate took me to the dog beach on the Foreshore in our Newcastle and it was hysterical seeing the size of the planks the dogs were carting round and yes we experienced the leg whacking lol..isn't he a lovely boy your Monty,bringing you so much joy.
So fun! My lovely Golden Retriever Cho Cho used to carry the biggest log she could find too! On our walks people passing by would call her a 'labralogger'...sigh...miss her!
Monty's mouth and tongue look as if they have healed up well after that nasty caterpillar encounter a few weeks back - thank Goodness. He's looking great
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

the lovely things about where our house is, is that it's a stones throw

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Our Irish Setter used to do that too. Allez Les All Blacks!!!
